    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    Have you all seen the cover the Economist from 1988? The article itself is pretty fascinating, given when it was written. I think the recent statements from the IMF president, in addition to major financial companies creating infrastructure to support cryptocurrencies, is super exciting. I am...

    Prepared to diversify - M36

    INTRO 
    Ok, so then remove the word 'passive'. I want and need more income, and am ready and willing to bust my a$$ to get it :) . I mentioned 'passive' because implementing recurring revenue models - which require a ton of dedication and hard work - are only viable by putting in the hard work, and then...

    Confirmed, the total value of first shipment is under $2k. Definitely going to urge the factory to suggest some options for getting the merchandise up here. I believe that have connections with freight lines to Spain and Germany, but not sure about U.S. On the to do list.

    PEOPLE 
    Thank you Lambo! Very helpful. the company I am dealing with is W.J. Byrnes & Co. - Customs Brokers Yesterday, I mentioned the request for CIF terms and my contact replied with the below.

    Modem mail-in service

    Looking at my latest Comcast bill, I realized that I pay about $6.00/month for the modem provided my Comcast. I'm guessing most people rent the modems from Comcast as well. In two years I've already paid out about $150.00 in modem rental fees! It seems to me, that I should be able to get whole...

    Any experience with cold calling services like intelemark?

    I've been cold calling for the last 8 years so and have been responsible for developing my own calling strategy. When I'm ready to call I always have LinkedIN and Jigsaw open as well as SalesForce. Jigsaw is the absolute best database I have found for getting not only names, but direct dials and...

    Localization and translation strategy expert

    Good evening folks - The common trend I see in members that garner the most respect, is to give more than you take from here. My initial approach was to reiterate how great the book is - which is redundant or else I wouldn't be here, and also immediately start to ask questions. I'm taking a step...

    Dropshipping

    Thanks Jason. Yes, I agree about not relying on the drop shipper. I have ran the metrics below on eBay and the main product I want to sell can sell very well. What I can not tell is how often the comparable products have sold. It seems that all I can see is when the last sale occurred, and all...

    Dropshipping

    So I already have connected with the manufacturer who happens to be the direct seller of a product I'm going to import from South America. My concern with drop shipping is the slow turn around time if I rely on the manufacturer/direct seller to ship directly to my customers after they make a...

    Need your opinion/recommendations on two ideas: Do they fit a need?

    IDEA 
    If the vending machines are off the table and the foldable shoes are already available through online vendors, then what's your question and what advice are you seeking for this? I don't see how you could possibly turn a profit with the vending machine option.

    My fastlane idea

    IDEA 
    Price it so that people get PAID for setting up events. Cash will incentivize just about any schmuck on the street. The people who set up the events get paid based on however many people show up. You get 30 people to show up to your flash mob, you get $15.00 -You get 500 people to show up and...

    I'm in

    Currently reading MJ's book. Never have a I read so much unadulterated truth when speaking to the pitfalls of the slowlane. I constantly have ideas running through my head and always wonder how it was possible to turn these ideas into $$$. I have realized that baby steps need to be taken before...
